Because I want a 1.25" belt for dockers. The requirements are tougher because 1.25 is a narrower belt, and the aesthetic requirements are for dockers and maybe (maybe) even slacks (as you know, SHTF will hit when you are not looking for it, so get a gunbelt you can EDC).

But I can't talk about it from experience yet, because USPS has my belt till this weekend today! (just notified)

But at the price point, I did cry. But Simply Rugged does not sell a 1.25 belt.
